Swing the sword at the future female devil

Chapter 476 (Final Chapter): Making a good life together is more important than anything else~
Who is spreading rumors that I have Tang family blood? Who? Step forward and speak to me!
"Your Highness, rest assured, I excel at apologizing!" Duan Huaige said solemnly, "I always keep my word. I will certainly live up to your trust and carefully nurture A-Cao, making it a force that protects this world!"

I'll go to Shushan later and pay for a few more tickets for you!

"Will things change once we leave Kunlun Ruins? We need to hurry and get rid of that parasite in the military!" Yan Qiuxi rubbed her hands together, eager to fight back. "Let's see if he dares to send people to arrest us again!"

"He is already dead." Qin Shuangjiang said calmly, "After Taiqing's demonic seed was extracted, he was robbed of all his essence, energy and spirit, and became an ordinary member of the Soul Banner."

Duan Huaige ignored their casual chatter about revenge; he felt as if he had heard a key word.

"Huh? Wait a minute, battlefield? What battlefield? What are you talking about, Holy Maiden?"

I've already defeated the big boss, why do I still have to go back to the battlefield!

"The Kunlun Heavenly Road Battlefield is a place where all the heavens vie for power. I can change the cause of 'myself,' but I cannot eliminate the 'general trend' that Earth will eventually be drawn into this battlefield."

She pointed to the shattered Kunlun Ruins and said:

"In the war of a hundred realms, the losers perished. If you don't want Earth to repeat that tragedy... then become stronger! Change your world! Give it the power to survive, and even triumph, on the battlefield of the future Immortal Realm!"

Duan Huaige was taken aback upon hearing this, and blurted out, "Holy Maiden...why are you helping me so much? Helping this world?"

Upon hearing this, the Holy Maiden Taiqing shifted her gaze from Duan Huaige's face to the ceaselessly flowing, renewed river of time, and the shattered starlight reflected on its surface. Her profile appeared serene and distant in the starlight.

After a moment of silence, just when Duan Huaige thought she wouldn't answer, she spoke softly, her voice still ethereal, but carrying an indescribable depth that seemed to pierce through time:
"Cause and effect...the law of cause and effect is mysterious beyond measure." She did not answer directly, but instead seemed to be expounding a profound truth, "A meeting in Zen Buddhism has sown the seeds of cause and effect. You helped me see through the illusion, and I will help you quell this calamity and resolve the cause and effect here. This is also to cut off the chain of my own sinking."

She paused, her gaze returning to Duan Huaige. Her pure, starry eyes held a knowing glimpse into the future, and a faint, yet unspoken, curve appeared on her lips:
"As for the deeper reason..." Her voice carried a barely perceptible tinge.
"Ask me again when you truly step onto the Kunlun battlefield of the future and stand before me."

"Duan Huaige, I'll be waiting for you on the main battlefield of Kunlun Ruins in the future... I hope that you can bring a real surprise then." Leaving behind this farewell filled with expectation and challenge, her figure transformed into a stream of light, plunged into the vortex of time and space leading to the past, and disappeared.

These words, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, stirred ripples in Duan Huaige's heart. It was more than just parting words; it was a promise that transcended time and space, a commitment to the future, brimming with anticipation and challenge.

The ripples of time and space subsided, the altar returned to deathly silence, only A-Cao radiated a soft light of life and death.

Duan Huaige gazed in the direction she had disappeared, clenched his fist, and a renewed fighting spirit burned in his weary eyes: "The main battlefield of Kunlun Ruins... I will go! With a world powerful enough!"

However, Duan Huaige was not the only one whose feelings were stirred by Taiqing's words...

"Oh? Going to see her with a 'surprise'?" Yan Qiuxi's teasing voice rang in my ears.

"It seems Master has high hopes for Xiao Duan?" Jiang Xiyu sneered, grinding her teeth inwardly, seemingly searching for a suitable position.

“What did Brother Huaige do wrong? I think it’s that witch who’s being unreasonable.” Xiao Xie added fuel to the fire in the gentlest and most understanding tone: “If she had stayed, we could have all become sisters, but she insisted on making a promise for the future. She’s trying to bind Brother Huaige’s heart to her.”

Qin Shuangjiang silently drew her longsword from its sheath with a sharp, piercing clang.

"Keep talking, I'm listening."

Duan Huaige stiffened when he saw his four girlfriends, who had kind eyes, surrounding him with their arms crossed and half-smiling expressions.

The air froze instantly. The battlefields of the future were indeed terrifying… but the carnage before him seemed capable of killing him instantly!

Duan Huaige's forehead was covered in cold sweat: "Gentlemen...please let me explain! She and I are just strategic partners..."

"Explanation?" Yan Qiuxi interrupted with a smile, "Alright, first tell me what the 'surprise' is?"

"Strategic partner?" Jiang Xiyu said coldly, "I'm embarrassed to even point it out! You call yourself my master's strategic partner!"

"She just said that you planted a seed in the Zen illusion. What exactly was that seed? I'd like to ask." Qin Shuangjiang said calmly, "Don't worry, with my control, I can't kill you within three sword strikes. You have three chances to argue your way out."

"This really isn't me!" Duan Huaige's expression changed drastically: "Qiuqiu! Qiuqiu can vouch for me. Taiqing and I were only talking about serious matters! Don't you agree, Qiuqiu?"

Upon hearing this, a sly glint flashed in Yan Qiuxi's eyes. She blinked and said, "I don't know, but as soon as I went in, I heard you and Taiqing calling each other 'wife' and 'husband' so affectionately... your relationship was like honey... who knows what you were doing before I got here..."

"I really didn't do it!" Duan Huaige quickly declared his loyalty: "Shuangjiang, you know me... If I really did it, it definitely wouldn't have happened so quickly!" "It's better not to talk about this, it just makes me angry!" Little Jiang the Great Demon King said furiously: "Duan Huaige, I originally thought you were just temporarily bewitched by Chacha, but I didn't expect that if you had to do it all over again, you would still choose to attack them instead of me!"

“Xi Yu… don’t blame Brother Huai Ge… he also has many difficulties.”

Xiao Jiang glanced at Xie Cangling, the scheming woman, and sneered, "How dare you say such a thing! You're having a good time, aren't you? Being the center of attention and having your story leaked in front of all of us... Yan Qiuxi never got this kind of treatment before!"

Xiao Xie blushed and waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "No, no, that's not true... I had no choice. Besides, I did it all for you!"

Seeing that the situation seemed to be getting out of control, Duan Huaige felt a little guilty, so he coughed lightly and said:

"Please don't panic, everyone. Let me be fair. It was wrong of me to choose Qiuqiu before."

Yan Qiuxi: ? ? ?

"That's more like it. You're smart."

"Hmph, now you know how terribly wrong you were, Duan. I'm not saying I can't give you another chance. Anyway, it's not like I'm giving you one!" said the Turtle Demon King.

"What I mean is that it was wrong of me to only choose Qiuqiu before. This time, I still insist on having them all!" Duan Huaige gently took each of the girls' hands and said in a soft tone:
“Qiuqiu…Xiaojiang…Shuangjiang…Cangling…” He called out their names one by one. “Without you all…I wouldn’t have made it this far. From now on, let’s stop fighting and competing. It’s more important for the five of us to live a good life together.”

The room fell silent. The girls exchanged glances, each with a different expression, but none of them spoke first to break the silence.

Xiao Jiang: I haven't even had a taste of soup yet. At this rate, I'm afraid they'll be showing their pregnancies, and I still won't be able to get over it.

Qiuqiu: Although I won this round against Taiqing, I lost my boyfriend. This is probably what they mean by winning the game but losing life. (chug chug chug chug.)

I'm not afraid of this bunch of weaklings, the problem is Frostfall! What if I beat her too badly and have to start a third playthrough? Then all the advantages I've worked so hard to build up will be gone!

Frost's Descent: In the first playthrough, I was overpowered by Yan Qiuxi; in the second playthrough, I was manipulated by Xie Cangling, a green tea b*tch; who will be my turn in the third playthrough? Surely I can't be completely defeated by Jiang Xiyu, that turtle, right?
Xiao Xie: Next up, is it time for the much-anticipated palace intrigue? QAQ~
Finally, my major is working in my field!

"Who wants to live with them?" Xiao Jiang scoffed. "At most, I'll live with Cang Ling."

"Me too, I can only accept being chiseled along with my Ah Jiang~"

"Yan Qiuxi, have you eaten too many red beans?" Qin Shuangjiang said with an unfriendly expression: "Who wants to be stabbed with you? I'd rather have Jiang Xiyu push for me!"

Xiao Jiang: ?
What do you mean?
Seeing that the others didn't immediately object vehemently, but only offered mild and unambiguous criticisms, Duan Huaige was secretly delighted.

Although the girls won't completely agree yet, once this is the beginning, won't everything else fall into place naturally?
Hehehehehe, it's time for me to consider the order of dual cultivation. Should I start with the backstabbing best friend duo of Xiao Jiang and Xiao Xie, or the bickering childhood sweetheart duo of Shuang Jiang and Qiu Qiu?
Just as Duan Huaige was enjoying his grand strategic plans for the future, a childish yet plaintive voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Four people can live a good life? Duan Huaige. What about me? Where do you put me?"

Duan Huaige turned his head and saw Zhang Zhiyao, the black-hearted little girl left behind after the corrupted Taiqing was extracted. At this moment, her eyes were filled with tears, and she looked like she had given her heart to the wrong person.

Duan Huaige's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition arose within her.
"Hello, is this the FBI? Yes, it's an international law enforcement operation. Come over right away, I'll get the extradition paperwork done first."

"Duan Huaige! You've gone too far! I'm warning you, my bottom line is four. I don't care which four, you just have to find me three younger sisters!!"

"Little Jiang, how many jin did you drink? You've already taken out a loan to become the empress so quickly?"

"Brother Huaige, aren't I your only good sister? QAQ"

The four-person group, which had just shown signs of harmony, became tense again after the little girl joined them.

Seeing that he couldn't stop them, Duan Huaige could only put A Cao into his storage space, then picked up Zhang Zhiyao and prepared to leave this place of trouble. The girls behind him immediately gave chase.
"Duan Huaige, get over here right now, I'm here to help you correct your 'XP'!"

"Ah Jiang, save your breath. Only someone as capable as Xiao Jiang or I can straighten out this guy's ego! You'll only worsen his condition!"

"To be honest, I think what Yan Dao said makes sense! Qin Shuangjiang, what do you mean by this? You're so angry that you start attacking, aren't you? My Imperial Banner isn't something to be trifled with!"

"Don't rush to make a move, don't let that loli Duan Huaige get away empty-handed!"

He fled, they chased, but he couldn't escape!
A-Cao, peeking out a branch from her storage magic treasure, watched the chaotic scene before her with curiosity, seemingly finding it extremely interesting. Duan Huaige, who was on the run, seemed to have a premonition that such a hellish scene would happen again in the future.
Oh no, perhaps... twice?
